More quotes by Lech Walesa
The program of our movement stems from the fundamental moral laws and order.
Lech Walesa
I think if I got a bicycle from my father, I should give a car to my son.
Lech Walesa
You have riches and freedom here but I feel no sense of faith or direction. You have so many computers, why don't you use them in the search for love?
Lech Walesa
President Lech Kaczynski is not at all active in Poland and his image abroad leaves a lot to be desired.
Lech Walesa
Deep faith eliminates fear.
Lech Walesa
There is something of the warrior in me.
Lech Walesa
I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
Lech Walesa
The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.
Lech Walesa
Capitalism is in crisis.

Lying at the root of the social agreements of 1980 are the courage, sense of responsibility, and the solidarity of the working people. Both sides have then recognized that an accord must be reached if bloodshed is to be prevented.
Lech Walesa
I believed it would succeed. It was Polish Solidarity and its victory that put an end to the old era when what mattered were borders and rival blocs.
Lech Walesa
Democracy is made up of three elements. One is whether the laws support pluralistic principles. The second is whether the people take advantage of these laws. The third element is whether the peoples' wallets are thick enough to benefit from this democracy.
Lech Walesa
When I recall my own path of life I cannot but speak of the violence, hatred and lies. A lesson drawn from such experiences, however, was that we can effectively oppose violence only if we ourselves do not resort to it.
Lech Walesa
I am happy that Poland is returning to the road of pluralism and democracy.
Lech Walesa
In myself I am nothing. It all comes from God and the Virgin Mary.
Lech Walesa
This is the moment of your defeat you have just put in the last nails in the coffin of communism.
Lech Walesa
It all came from there, Lech Walesa said, pointing to a TV when a reporter asked him why communism fell.
Lech Walesa
Communism prevents organizations from developing by stopping the flow of information. The system is based on police and listening devices and triggers the worst characteristics in humans.
Lech Walesa
I am overjoyed that I do not need a heart transplant at this time.
Lech Walesa
I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.
Lech Walesa
